i have the ground rods installed, my garage is considered attached, since i have a breezeway, but they are there in case the inspector decides i should have them.

thanks!

There's 4, red, black, white and green

Finally, with much help from this board, i hooked up my new subpanel. Any comments good/bad? Btw, I left the green screw out as required from the sub, but there is still continiuity between the ground bar and the nuetral bar. Now I assume thats because they are connected at the main, so I...

i was looking at these today and there are only knockouts on the back and bottom. my conduit drop comes from the ceiling, can i cut a hole for an emt connector in the top? although i dont technically need it, i may put it in for conveinence.

Thanks, I may have to go that route if I can't fit a whip between threw tube. I'll be working on that today

im back, so after looking at it last night heres my issue, the first pic is the side the motor comes into the switch. the next to are where the power cord is meant to come in the back. no knockouts on either side, and on the power in side there is a small tube and only about 3/4 inch of...

ok, thanks for the help guys, much appreciated

i have zero issues hardwiring it, as a matter of fact looking at the plug in cord price it looks like it might eve n be cheaper to hardwire it. do i have any other options other than liquid tight, or metal flex conduit?

It's on the other wall of the garage, about 15-20 feet from the sub. I don't have a knockout in the switch box, only a clamp for a cord. Am I stuck drilling a hole for a flex conduit?

So, 10 thhn to a 30 amp ac disconnect, and a liquid tite whip to the compressor?

what did you use for the cord from the compressor to the socket? just 12/2?

me again.... so i bought this compressor http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/porter-cablereg%3B-stationary-belt-drive-air-compressor-60-gal which says 15 amps, which 12 thhn and a 20 amp dp breaker should suffice....it will be about a 35-40 foot run of wire. ive attached the plate on the...

Something just dawned on me, would the fact that each circuit will start with a gfci outlet change the fact that they can share a ground?

Perfect! Off to work:rocker:

i am also staying away from mwbc because i have enough single pole breakers. so if am understanding alfred right, i can run 2 hots, 2 neutrals, and only one ground? so 5 wires in total?

just what i was looking for, i was aware of running, a mwbc, but having no knowledge good or bad, i was leaning away from them. i was also unaware 2 seperate circuits could share one ground. i should be ok on box fill, i have 4 inch deep boxes with 1/2 raised covers. thanks again!

couldnt seem to find what i was looking for searching, so heres my question. can i run one 1/2 emt with 2 hots, 2 neutrals, and 2 grounds 12 ga thhn, and still be good for 20 amps? or does derating come into play at that point. and my second question is can i use the boxes for the first...

only found one thread pertaining to this, but what type of screws is everyone using to surface mount handy boxes and conduit straps to drywall/studs?

so after all this, the garage is considered attached. is it worth while to run a wire to the ground rods, or is it against code since it is attached?
